AMESBURY, Mass. -- Fire crews battled a three-alarm blaze at a house in Amesbury on Friday evening.

Flames ignited at the single-family home at 16 Pamela Lane after 5 p.m.

The residence is located in the Lake Gardner area of Amesbury and consists of two homes.

No one was home in one of the residencies, and one person was home sleeping at #16. He woke up when he smelled smoke, and escaped before the flames shot through the roof. He said he owned the house for just over two years, and has lost almost everything he owned.

No one was injured.

Fire crews knocked down the flames shortly after 6:30 p.m.
